In 2003, following a reorganization project of the Historical Archive and Library of the Municipality of Laterza, a multifaceted structure called the “Citadel of Culture” was inaugurated, hosting several facilities: The Library with a rich collection of about 8000 books; the Municipal Historical Archive with important historical documents; The Educational Archaeological Museum that gathers artifacts from the Neolithic civilization, ancient fragments of ceramic objects, and artifacts dating from the 7th century BC to the 19th century. The Educational Archaeological Museum allows, through its artifacts, the reconstruction of local history by providing useful information on territorial cultures and outlining precise historical contexts.
